I recently ran into an issue where my iPhone would seem to always try and connect to the one network I did not want to use anytime I left the house/came back. After I had enough manual switching – I finally took a look and learned how Apple orders the networks to join: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202831 and then looked at my settings. I noticed that my preferred network had “Auto Join” set to “no” and “Auto Join” set to “yes” for the slow network I had grown to hate.

If you have the same issue – go to your WiFi settings on your iPhone and click on the info icon for that connection. You will then see a screen like this:

From there – if you want your iPhone to prefer/join the network – make sure the Auto Join setting is turned on. If you want to not join it – simply make sure Auto Join is turned off. Makes sense and is super easy and no more manually changing the network every time you leave/come back. Simplify your life and make sure any non-used networks have Auto Join = off.

When viewing media (usually the image.php template) within WordPress – there are buttons to browse the next and previous buttons that you might want to customize if you are creating a Bootstrap WordPress them. If this is the case – styling the buttons with Bootstrap is easy. You can simply add the following to your theme’s functions.php file.

Looking to stylize that WordPress comment button on the WordPress comment form? Adding the correct classes needed to the comment form button are as easy as finding where comment_form() is called in your theme. In my cases – this is within the comments.php file.

When creating your Bootstrap WordPress themes, you will notice the sidebar widgets (archives, categories, etc) which use dropdowns do not share the Bootstrap styling because there is no place easily accessible to add in the needed classes or CSS.

Considering the options – here are two ways you can turn those default selects into something that matches the rest of your beautiful Bootstrap site.

Add a filter in your functions.php file

This is specific to the category dropdown. I was hoping we could use the same on the widget_categories_dropdown_args filter, but that is not possible as of WordPress 4.6. (see next example to address this). This filter works great if you use the categories widget and no other that display a select.

I recently ran into an issue where backups for a project were taking much more space than I thought they should. I figured there was a large error log somewhere – and sure enough I was able to easily find it with the following command:

du -sh *

That command du (disk usage) along with the options -sh (s = summarize, h = human readable) will then output something like this:
